wgrib2 v3.1.2 with AEC library ECMWF is distributing files requiring the AEC library. This the the stock wgrib2 v3.1.2 including the AEC library. To build from scratch starting from a cygwin installation, you need gcc, gfortran, make and cmake installed cmake is needed for the AEC library change grib2/makefile: USE_AEC=0 to USE_AEC=1 For the extras not included here, see the v3.1.2 directory Notes: compiling on my faithful N3040 laptop is not quick, even with nvme. The next build will be on a zen-3 laptop. Don't forget to read the Installation instructions in the .. directory.
